Meet Oakley
Meet Oakley!
This lanky fellow came to us from a local pound where he was sadly never reclaimed by his owners, but now he is here and ready for a fresh start!
Oakley is a sweet boy but lacks a lot of confidence about the world around him having likely lived a backyard his whole life. Oakley is looking for experienced owners who can commit to his ongoing training needs 🙂
Oakley is looking for a family who already have a calm, tolerant and well-socialised doggy in their home to help mirror appropriate behaviours.
Oakley could share a dog with dog savvy kids 10+ pending a successful meet at the refuge.
Come meet Oakley at the refuge today!
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
